Текст и перевод песни Bourvil - Le Petit Coq

Le Petit Coq

Un petit coq chantait, plastronnait, claironnait
De son cocorico
Réveillant les échos
La basse-cour suivait notre chante grelet
Picorant tout le jour
Les jardins et les cours
Car il avait du flair et toujours il trouvait
Ce qu′il fallait à ses poulets.
C'est un coq adorable
Il peut bien s′en vanter
Cocorico
Cot cot codec
Nul coq n'est plus aimable
Et ne sait mieux chanter
Cocorico
Cot cot codec.
Le Petit Coq est mort et chacun de gémir
Privé par le destin
D'un réveille matin
Appelant tout le jour sans le voir revenir
Le pauvre petit coq
Qui dans son lit de roc
De nourriture aux vers maintenant va servir
Au grand regret de ses poulets.
C′est un coq adorable
Il peut bien s′en vanter
Cocorico
Cot cot codec
Nul coq n'est plus aimable
Et ne sait mieux chanter
Cocorico
Cot cot codec.
Mais le fermier bientôt leur fit à tous cadeau
D′un coq plus rigolo
Qui leur apprend l'ergot
Les poulets sont contents car tout nouveau tout beau
Et chacun le suivit
Aussitôt qu′il le vit
Heureux d'avoir enfin par son cocorico
Moins de chagrin et plus de grain.
Nul n′est indispensable
Et ne peut s'en vanter
Cocorico
Cot cot codec
Le coq le plus aimable
Est vite remplacé
Cocorico
Cot cot codec.

The Little Rooster

A little rooster sang, crowed, and sounded his alarm
With his cock-a-doodle-doo
Awakening the echoes
The barnyard followed our little singer
Pecking all day long
The gardens and the courtyards
Because he had a flair and always he found
What his chickens needed.
He's an adorable rooster
He can be proud of himself
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck
No rooster is more lovable
And knows how to sing better
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck.
The Little Rooster is dead and everyone moans
Deprived by fate
Of an alarm clock
Calling out all day without seeing him come back
The poor little rooster
Who in his rocky bed
Will now serve as food for the worms
To the great regret of his chickens.
He's an adorable rooster
He can be proud of himself
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck
No rooster is more lovable
And knows how to sing better
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck.
But soon the farmer gave them all a gift
Of a funnier rooster
Who teaches them the spur
The chickens are happy because all new and all beautiful
And everyone followed him
As soon as they saw him
Happy to finally have by his cock-a-doodle-doo
Less sorrow and more grain.
No one is indispensable
And cannot be proud of it
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck
The most lovable rooster
Is quickly replaced
Cock-a-doodle-doo
Cluck cluck cluck.
